Sincere thanks to Neil for agreeing to the continuing display of this shipping information through the Hale-Genealogy website.

On 30 November 1852 the Eliza, a barque of 682 tons, departed Plymouth under the command of Edwin Thomas Sturdee on a 100 day voyage to Portland Bay, Victoria. Cold and dreary weather accompanied the Eliza's voyage. Death was aboard the ship. The hatches remained open for fresh air, yet conditions were oppressive in the steerage compartments, which stunk with the smell
of sea sickness. Of the Eliza's 330 passengers, 41 died during the course of the voyage, 21 of those due to an outbreak of measles. The Eliza arrived in Portland Bay on 9 April 1853.

All care has been undertaken to correctly determine the spellings of all
names on this list. If there be any errors, then please inform me and I
will correct them. (I have some concerns that the name GANJE listed should
read as GANGE.)
Families may not be fully grouped together. Children traveling with their
parents but old enough to fend for themselves (at age 14) may be listed as
themselves. Also, many lost family members due to a measles outbreak on
board. Therefore search the whole page for your surname of interest.
